In recent years, Microsoft has made large acquisitions and has chosen to keep the employees in their original locations. Rates for hiring employees in China and India have been ahead of Redmond for several years. As shown in Figure 1-7, by early 2008 Redmond-based engineers represented just 73 percent of the global product engineering workforce. 开发人员跨越不同开发中心，这种趋势不断在加速。近年来，微软已经做了大量的兼并和选择了让他们的员工留在他们原来的地方。在中国和印度雇用员工的价格一直领先于雷德蒙德雷德蒙德 Open table as spreadsheet（以电子表格的形式打开表格） Area（区域） % of total United States (Redmond, WA)（美国华盛顿州城市雷德蒙德） 73% Hyderabad, India 7% United States (California)（美国加里福尼亚） 4% Beijing, China（中国北京） 2.3% Ireland（爱尔兰） 1.6% Area（区域） % of total United Kingdom（英国） 1.6% Denmark（丹麦） 1.3% North Dakota(美国北达科他州) 1% Japan（日本） 1% Shanghai, China（中国上海） 1% Israel（以色列） 0.9% United States (Massachusetts) .（美国马萨诸塞州） 0.5% Figure 1-7: Top 12 Microsoft development centers in 2008.The internationalization trend is by design, but the design, unlike that of many other multinational companies, is not about cheaper labor.
